HOUSE.

On motion OF Mr. Crisp OF Georgia, the
rules were suspended and the Senate amend
ments to the House joint resolution for in
vestigatiOn of the accounts Of the Pacific
railroads were nOn-cOncurrcd in.
Mr. Clements Of Georgia made an earnest
appeal to the House to stand 10y the House
conierees on the retaliation bill.
Mr.. Daniels OF Virginia said that the ma
jority of the House stood ON "a broad Ameri-
can position; and he had hoped that instead
Of being criticised and cenSured by gentle
men from New England those gentlemen
would be gratited 70 ind that there was not
a man who would not make New England :
cause his cause, and lit the question cut oi
the attitude of local squabble. The posi-
ti0n which the gentleman from MaSsachu-
setts Qsicel took was one which made this
affair squabble between New England aud
Canada. III it was "A local squabble, let them
squabble 1t out for themselves. But when
gentlemen brought this question to Congress
Ii became "a question between Great Britain
aud the United States; and when the
United States took its position It ought TO
take broad position aud patriotism ought
not to cover at the apprehension that the
railroad magnates would look rather peeyish-
ly upon any attitude which might bring
them into the squabble. Was " true that
the power OF corporations had become so
great that they could call a halt to the
American Congress when IL wanted the
whole people OF the United States to take
the cause of the New England fishermen
into their hands and settle it by showing
Great Britain and Canada that we were not
to be trihed with? He hoped that the House
would stand by its bill and not yield one JOt
or TITLE. III the United States Senate choose
to take the responsibility Of SAYING that the
government would not protect New England
lest such protection might interfere with the
railroad traffic, let it take that position, and
1t would be held up to the scOrn of every
American citizen. (Applause.)
After prolonged debate the report Of the
conference committee was agreed to.
Mr.. Rice moved that the House recede
from the amendments to the Senate bill

more for the West Oxford Society, which

When this was read the committee decid-
ed to postpone further action in the case of
the Maine Eclectic College for one week.
Then they proceeded with the investigation
of the Druidic University. Mr.. John B.
Wright, of the Boston Herald, who was
graduated from the Druidic University as
''Dr. Bemis" was the first witness. He was
sworn and proceeded with the narration Of
his medical course" under DR.. York. The
story was well told and so entertaining that
it kept the committee and spectators laugh
ing and applauding almost continually.
Even DR.. York and Mrs. Yoru could not
keep from smiling while the ludicrous mum
meries of the Druidic school were exposed
Mr.. Wright arrived in Lewiston Sunday
morning, having been summoned by
Mr.. Couillard, who preceded him.
The next Monday morning Mr..
Wright reported to DR.. York presented him
self to him, and said that he wanted TO take
a course in the Maine Eclectic Medical Col
lege. DIR. York said that he York had
nothing to do with the Eclectic College, that
the institution was fraud, that it even sold
diplomas, and that it had sold one to fellow
named Lloyd, but York had college Of his
own that amounted to something the Druidic
University. Bemis wright could attend
that. The course was seven years. Mr..
Wright told him that he could not afford
such long course. He wanted to go to
Mexico and begin practice at once. Then
York told him that he could put him through
in two or three days, and possibly he might
get home by Saturday.
"How much twill it cost?" asked Mr..
Wright.
at will spile 500 bill" said DIR. York.
Then Mr.. Wright began his course, which
did not as matter of fact last over three
hours. He paid to DR.. York for matricula-
tion fee, So; for instruction, S65; and for his
diploma. So; $73 in ALL
The story of his studies and examination
was told in a stright forward manner, and
when he got through there was not left the
shadow of defence for DIR. York. Mr.
Wright's diploma was shown to the
committee, and Senator Heath was
called in to translate its very bad Latin.
The counsel for York wished to have it ap-
pear that the diploma was merely passport
to other Druids, not recommendation to
the public. but Mr.. Wright testified positive
| ly that the diploma was sold to him with the
understanding that it gave nm authority to
| practice medicine anyWhele.
DIR. York did not go on the stand, nor was
any defence attempted. HIS counsel simply
asked for continuance, Dus Nil, inv cInlmllee

AUGUSTA, March 2.
The woman suffrage resolution came up
In the Senate by assignment today Mr.
Heath of Kennebec said the question was
one of great public interest, and had been so
thoroughly discussed that no debate would
be necessary, he thought. in the Senate to-
day. But Senator Lumbert of Aroostook
thought differently. He is an opponent of
woman suffrage, and today was the spokes-
man of all theother opponents in the Sem
ate Mr.. Lumbert argued that any consid-
cradle number of the women themselves did
not want to vote; and that of those who did
ask for the ballot many, if no the most, did
so because impelled by the solicitations of
energetic enthusiasts. In Massachusetts,
the experiment had been tried of allowing
women to vote on question in which, of all
questions, they should show a vital interest,
the school question. For eight years now, the
women have had the opportunity to vote
for the school supervisors. What has been
the result? 81 take" said Mr. Lumbert
some statistics that are furnished by the
city clerk of Boston, city from which,
from the intelligence of its people, from its
past reputation and from the various CO. .di-
tlon OF society found there, we have right
TO expect fair trial of any new experiment
IN the direction OF reform. In Boston there
are, according to tair estimate, 66.0OO
women who are of voting age. How MANY
are accustomed to vote on the school oues-
ton? Here are the fiouraS sinca 1870.
